301 | How many kinds of blessings in the bible | Eph 1:3 | BradK | 227302 | ||
Hello assata, This is a very broad question, but let me answer simply: Read Ephesians Chap. 1 for starts! Eph 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ," (NASB) BradK |

302 | God change himself so moses could see Go | Num 12:7 | BradK | 227242 | ||
Hello Vicky, Quite honestly, I now have no idea where you're coming from or headed with this matter! Let's get back to page one: You made the contention, and the ENTIRE burden of proof is upon you to prove it's validity from scripture! You are asserting that Moses actually saw God. That contradicts scripture! Ex. 33:20 explicitly states, " But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" (NASB) How can you possibly prove otherwise? Scripture does not say Moses actually saw God! I'm glad you checked my profile out. However, let me make clear one thing: I'm not advocating that we simply agree to disagee- without qualification! On essentials I bleieve unity is crucial, on non-essentails liberty. That's what I mean by what I said. Finally, not to beat the proverbial dead-horse, but unless you can demonstrate conclusively from scripture that what you say has merit, let's drop this issue. I'm not seeking to debate this ad-nauseum and follow rabbit trails. With all due respect, you've proved nothing! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

303 | Moses has seen God Face to Face | Num 12:7 | BradK | 227236 | ||
Hello Vicky, I have read Num. 12:7-8. I also realize how the NKJV reads. To assert that Moses is the only person that has seen God face-to-face is to contradict scripture!! Please, re-read what I quoted, "The Bible Knowledge Commentary observes, "Yet Moses could not and did not look upon the person of God Himself for no one can do this and live (Ex. 33:17-23) for God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He saw only the form of the LORD, but even this was a privilege extended to no other man. The “form” refers to a likeness or a representation of the Lord, not the very shape." Here in Num. 12:8, a figure of speech is employed in saying "mouth to mouth" to show 'great intimacy'. We could say he was speaking "familiarly, and with really audible words." [Figures of Speech] Note the NASB, "With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?" It is important to not only know what scripture says, but what it means by what it says. I still don't agree with your contention! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

304 | moses saw Gods face. | Num 12:5 | BradK | 227233 | ||
Hello Vicky, Welcome to the Forum! Can you be a little more specific and support your contention? As this is a Study Bible Forum, the burden of proof would be upon you to demonstrate the truth of your contention:-) However, it appears from several passages that Moses actually heard the voice of the Lord and saw His glory (e.g., Ex. 19:16-19; 24:17-18; 34:5-11). The Bible Knowledge Commentary observes, "Yet Moses could not and did not look upon the person of God Himself for no one can do this and live (Ex. 33:17-23) for God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He saw only the form of the LORD, but even this was a privilege extended to no other man. The “form” refers to a likeness or a representation of the Lord, not the very shape."

305 | fight fire with fire | Jer 34:22 | BradK | 227211 | ||
Hello Legs, No the phrase, "fight fire with fire" is not recorded or originate in scripture! The Origin (source) of this phrase was "actual fire-fighting that was taken on by US settlers in the 19th century. They attempted to guard against grass or forest fires by deliberately raising small controllable fires, which they called 'back-fires', to remove any flammable material in advance of a larger fire and so deprive it of fuel. This literal 'fighting fire with fire' was often successful, although the settlers' lack of effective fire control equipment meant that their own fires occasionally got out of control and made matters worse rather than better." [www.phrases.org.uk/meanings] The closest wording to this phrase verse may be in Jer. 34:22, "Behold, I am going to command,' declares the LORD, 'and I will bring them back to this city; and they will fight against it and take it and burn it with fire; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation without inhabitant.'" (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

306 | how do you do a teaching about Anointing | 2 Cor 1:21 | BradK | 227205 | ||
Hello isrocks, My first question would be, "who are you teaching?", a Sunday School class or other Bible Study? Next, I'd ask "what do you seek to explain by teaching on anointing?", or what is your exact purpose? Then, I would study the use of the words, anoint, anointed, anointing and see how they are used in scripture. Consult a Concordance like Strongs, or the NASB Exhaustive. Additionally, a Topical Bible like Nave's or Torrey's may also be useful. Do you have access to these resources? I hope this helps, BradK |

308 | After Jesus was baptised, God said this | Matt 3:17 | BradK | 227181 | ||
Hello Dorothea, Good question. With reference to Christ, the phrase is found in the following NT passages: Matt 3:17 "and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." Matt 17:5 "While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Mark 1:11 "and a voice came out of the heavens: "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased." Mark 9:7 "Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!" Luke 3:22 "and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove, and a voice came out of heaven, "You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased." 2 Pet. 1:17 "For when He received honor and glory from God the Father, such an utterance as this was made to Him by the Majestic Glory, "This is My beloved Son with whom I am well-pleased" (NASB) I hope this helps, BradK |

309 | I dont understand 1 Corinthians 14:5 | 1 Cor 14:5 | BradK | 227171 | ||
Hello Aaron, That's a great question! Here's how the Amplified reads: 1 Cor 14:5 "Now I wish that you might all speak in [unknown] tongues, but more especially [I want you] to prophesy (to be inspired to preach and interpret the divine will and purpose). He who prophesies [who is inspired to preach and teach] is greater (more useful and more important) than he who speaks in [unknown] tongues, unless he should interpret [what he says], so that the church may be edified and receive good [from it]." The Bible Knowledge Commentary offers this, " 14:5. Paul had no intention of depreciating the gift of tongues; he was simply interested in appreciating the gift of prophecy. There was nothing wrong with the gift of tongues; in fact Paul thought it would be good if everyone had the gift. Of course he had said the same thing about celibacy (7:7), but in neither instance did he expect universal compliance with his statement. Since both were gifts from God, neither should be despised. In a church gathering, however, the gift of prophecy and its exercise was greatly to be preferred to uninterpreted tongues simply because the former built up others. As already stated, the tongues gift was confirmatory and thus temporary (see comments on 13:8). Thus those instructions, specifically directed to the Corinthians’ misuse of tongues, are not directives for the use of tongues today." I hope this is of help to you:-) BradK |

312 | Jehovah's names | Ex 17:15 | BradK | 227154 | ||
Hello cjwill54, Great question:-) The name Jehovah -Nissi means, "Jehovah my banner" from Exodus 17:15 Jehovah-Jireh is one of the number of names compounded with Jehovah. the story here is found in Gen. 22, where Abraham is instructed by God to sacrifice his son Issac. Here in verse 14 it's noted, "Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, (Jehovah-Jireh) as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the LORD it will be provided." (NASB) Jehovah-Rophe means, "Jehovah heals"! The names arises out of one of Israel's earliest experiences in the wilderness as related in Ex. 15:22-26. It comes just after their crossing of the Red Sea. I hope this help, BradK |

313 | gates of heaven bible verse | 2 Cor 5:10 | BradK | 227146 | ||
Hello anovak, As you've worded your question, I'm not familiar with such a verse! Possibly you're referring to 2 Cor 5:10, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." (NASB) Additionally, you may want to read Rev. 20. Verse 11 says "Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven fled away, and no place was found for them." I hope this helps, BradK |

314 | What does the bible say about the mind | 1 Cor 2:16 | BradK | 227126 | ||
Hello Tony, Two primary scripture come to my mind: First, Matt 22:37 "And He said to him, "'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND." Here we see we're to literally love the Lord with our "complete" heart, soul and mind. So, there is necessity of the intellect in our pursuit of God. Second, 1 Cor 2:16 "For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But we have the mind of Christ." It should be instructive, that you can type in "Mind" in the Bible Text window on this site and reference all the related verses. This would allow you to do a basic word study on what the Bible says about the mind. I hope this helps, BradK |

316 | Luke 19 Story of ten servants! | Gen 1:1 | BradK | 227079 | ||
Hello pastorsd, Welcome to the Forum. You're asking a good question. The text in Luke 19:13 tells us, "And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back." Then, in verses 16, 18, and 20 were given the 3 accounts. Yet the parallel account in Matt. 25:14-15 says, "...called his servants and entrusted to them his property. To one he gave five talents, to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability." We're not given a specific number of servants. The inference here looks to be only three but maybe more. Scripture doesn't tell us or provide any other clues as to what happened to the other 7. So, my conclusion is that God, through the inspiration of Luke's account does not wish to relay any more details than the narrative contains. The point is not in the detail of "how many", but what each did with WHAT he was given! Luke 19:26 "I tell you that to everyone who has, more shall be given, but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away." I hope this helps, BradK |

317 | United States in Scripture? | Ps 82:8 | BradK | 227022 | ||
Hello Holmes, I don't doubt that our country has been extremely blessed. Yet, simply because we may have "become the world’s only remaining super power." does not equate with any reference to the US within scripture? It further doesn't assume we have any particular significance within in the pages of the inspired Word! I'm assuming that you see the USA in these scriptures? How exactly do you support your conclusion? I too am not exactly sure where you're headed with these observations? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

320 | High handed sins | Num 15:30 | BradK | 226947 | ||
Hello Beja, I found a few resources that offer comment: John Gill’s Exposition of the Bible: “Numbers 15:30 But the soul that doeth [ought] presumptuously Or with "an high hand" F20, or through pride, as the Targum of Jonathan; in an haughty, insolent, bold and daring manner; in an obstinate, stubborn, self-willed way, with purpose and design, openly and publicly, neither fearing God nor regarding man: [whether he be] born in the land, or a stranger; here a stranger as well signifies a proselyte of the gate as a proselyte of righteousness; seeing this presumptuous sinning may respect idolatry and blasphemy, which sins were punishable in proselytes of the gate by the magistrates of Israel as well as by the immediate hand of God: the same reproacheth the Lord; by denying him to be the true Jehovah, by worshipping other gods, and by speaking in a blaspheming manner of him the true God; and indeed every presumptuous sin, which is committed in a bold and audacious manner, in contempt of God and defiance of his law, is a reproaching him the lawgiver, and a trampling upon his legislative power and authority: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people, either by the hand of the civil magistrate, upon conviction of him, or by the immediate hand of God; no sacrifice was to be offered for such, no atonement to be made or forgiveness to be had; see ( Matthew 12:31 Matthew 12:32 )." The Commentary Critical: 30. the soul that doeth aught presumptuously--Hebrew, "with an high" or "uplifted hand"--that is, knowingly, wilfully, obstinately. In this sense the phraseology occurs ( Exodus 14:8 , Leviticus 26:21 , Psalms 19:13 ). the same reproacheth the Lord--sets Him at open defiance and dishonors His majesty. Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible: “Here is, I. The general doom passed upon presumptuous sinners. 1. Those are to be reckoned presumptuous sinners that sin with a high hand, as the original phrase is (v. 30), that is, that avowedly confront God’s authority, and set up their own lust in competition with it, that sin for sinning-sake, in contradiction to the precept of the law, and in defiance of the penalty, that fight against God, and dare him to do his worst; see Job 15:25. It is not only to sin against knowledge, but to sin designedly against God’s will and glory. 2. Sins thus committed are exceedingly sinful. He that thus breaks the commandment, (1.) Reproaches the Lord (v. 30); he says the worst he can of him, and most unjustly. The language of presumptuous sin is, "Eternal truth is not fit to be believed, the Lord of all not fit to be obeyed, and almighty power not fit to be either feared or trusted.’’ It imputes folly to Infinite Wisdom, and iniquity to the righteous Judge of heaven and earth; such is the malignity of wilful sin.” I hope this helps, BradK |
